@@TexasPlinking yeah now that was actually shocking! Craziest part is supers and subs were shot on 2 different days, don’t think I could manage that again if I tried haha
@@dsrrecordsent Favor 300BLK over 556? For a target shooting application, I do not. Hard to beat the performance of a 77gr SMK from 5.56 out to 800yds or so. It's worth saying though that 300BLK greatly exceeded my expectations at distance though. Much more capable than I was expecting.
I had no clue what to expect going into this one but I'm am super impressed with what 300BLK is capable of, especially the supersonic ammo. I was expecting the subs to be a little more consistent so now I'm thinking I'll revisit subsonic performance specifically in a future video. I'm thinking I can improve performance there and push further with consistency with a different bullet or ammo manufacturer. Stay tuned!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Noted in another comment but in case you miss it.. give the barrel a very light cleaning, then a dozen or so rounds of whatever ammo is under test, then shoot it for velocity and dispersion. If you're really getting picky, track the velocity numbers until they level off before shooting for record. Allowing the barrel to acclimate to the new bullet and establish copper equilibrium is critical for long range consistency. You may also want to analyze and group the ammo ahead of time.. at minimum, weigh the cartridges and measure overall length to ensure they are within acceptable tolerances. You may find a few outliers which could greatly skew your results as none of what you are shooting in this video is match-grade.
Since the military is always looking for a bullet with more stopping power and mass, I've always wondered why they don't just go with super sonic 300blk. All they'd need is barrel swaps rather having to buy all new systems like the sig m7.
Man you’ve got a great point here. The 125gr bullets I shot in this video are double the weight of M855 and as shown here are very capable out to a surprising distance. Really has me wondering why 300BLK hasn’t seen more military use given how versatile it is.
Seeming as a proficient shooter behind magnified glass, matched with good quality ammo and a decent 9" barrel can reach out and touch 600 yds, yeah, you present a great question.
Wasn't it Travis Haley who used a spikes tactical rifle and shot 300 blackout to 1000 yards? It's like a 10 yr old video he was really validating the 300 in. It's a cool video to watch
Alabama Arsenal also shot subs to 1000. I shoot subs at gongs to 600 but run out of elevation after that. I don't hunt past 100 with subs, but would be comfortable at 200 on a good day.
This is an invaluable video for those of us experimenting with 300 BO builds. Especially, when I do not have a range where I can 500 yrds. Excellent content!!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and glad you enjoyed the video! More 300BLK content coming so hope you'll stay tuned. I was really hoping to see better performance out of the subs at distance. I'm planning to launch a second video where I deep dive into the subs specifically and see if a different bullet from a different ammo manufacturer would offer more consistent performance at distance. Not sure what to expect but I'm thinking it's going to be a fun experiment haha
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Awesome to hear! I have been extensively reloading 300 BO over the last several months, specifically focusing on the sub rounds. I am former LE and my most recent SBR is a custom built Wilson Combat di AR, 6.75" SOT barrel with an Omega 300 can tucked in to the rail. Been trying to select the perfect optic, with the intent of this being a 150-200 yrd Max gun. Not sure it is possible, but your data sure is helping! I have primarily used 220 gr bullets but, just this week I ordered some 190gr and 200gr bullets. We shall see what happens. Thank you again for the great content and I look very forward to seeing your future work. Happy Easter!
@@tomi6261 given the performance I saw with the subs out of a 9” barrel, I’d say your 6.75” setup will for sure be capable of 200yds on man sized target. Sounds like you’ve got a sweet setup there!
Bro is plinking 3 out of 5 at 700 yards with a 9 inch barrel… that’s absolutely insane!! Great shooting and AMAZING review. I just got a 16 inch on the same platform and am really excited to see how far I can reach out with it
I truly appreciate the weaponized autism in pushing balistics beyond what is the "norm". Along with the multiple camera angles, plus how thorough the testing is. Great job!
In regards to the subsonic rounds consistency is king when you start to get far. The SD I saw was 5 percent of your velocity, if you hand load you can get down to about 10 ft SD and bump up the speed to 1050 at the muzzle. Considering the round is probably loaded for a 16 inch barrel it may be a tiny bit short on powder. I highly recommend using CFE BLK for your subs as once it gets a full case for the long bullet you will see the SD drop like a rock, it is wonderful! The consistency you saw in hits with the subsonic at range was an SD spread of only .5 percent of your total velocity. Great shooting bro and great topics/content and cinematography.
For subsonics you want to stay at around 925FPS. This is because while generally under 1000 will still be under the speed of sound, the sound of the bullet exponentially goes up as it nears the sound barrier. The original documents on 300 Whisper has more details about the science behind that.
Love the video. Really appreciate how you shot this. I have watched hours of 300 blk and this was by far the most informative video I have seen. Max value for the time spent here. Thank you.
The name of your channel suggests you've got a real sense of humor. I LOVE the fact that you don't, like so many other 'tactical' TH-camrs, try to be funny on screen. You're clear, direct, thorough and eminently enjoyable. Keep up the great videos, the way you're doing them now, and I'll keep watching/sharing.
I certainly have a sense of humor but my goal with each video is to provide an entertaining watch that also provides the viewer with some level of valuable takeaway. What you've seen so far from me is what you get, no plans to change so hope you'll stay tuned!
Same here…. The supers performed way better than I expected. I was actually hoping for a little better performance out of the subs so now I’m planning a part 2 video where I revisit the subsonic performance specifically. I want to see if a different bullet or ammo manufacturer will provide more consistent results from a subsonic bullet at distance. Stay tuned!
@@spoton5981 A good reason to not take what you read on forums with a hand grain full of salt. You have to get out there and shoot your weapon. Most not all... but most people never even shoot the caliber they are commenting on. However, they are quick to tell you how something will not work. That is mind blowing!
I just ordered a 16 in 300 Blackout upper 2 days ago. Your great shooting video is very inspiring. The range I go to has a nice steel target at 700 yards. I can't wait to do my own exploring with this rifle. Thanks for a great video. I look forward to your next one.
Just ordered my first long range gun. I've learned over the years that us shooters often skip over things we know when training others, and use terms others don't understand, making it more complicated than needed. watching you has given me a lot of great info and super simple and easy to follow. Now i know how and where to get started. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Such awesome content. Thanks for the work you put into these episodes. I'm planning an 8.6 BLK build on a bolt gun, and the 300 BLK has always been a strong performer.
Thank you! Appreciate the support! My buddy just got hit 8.6BLK bolt gun put together and we put a handful of rounds through it the other day. Crazy cool caliber…. Hits steel impressively hard at 100yds haha.
Once again appreciate the continued support! Tell you what, after running this 300BLK upper for this video I'm really impressed by 300BLK. Way more capable at distance that I expected. Hoping to spend this weekend filming fresh content so stay tuned for more!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica I'm genuinely impressed as well. It seems like the subs are inconsistently loaded, but that's also good information to know if you say....had a 300blk with subs and had to make it work. Excellent shooting as always.
@@navyman8903 100% I’m going to revisit the subs in a future video. I want to see if swapping to a different bullet/ ammo manufacturer makes any difference. Also wondering if the slower 1 in 7” twist of this barrel just isn’t the right match for the heavy bullets? More to come there.
love your channel , a humble man . its funny you asking viewers for advice when you just educated probably most watching your video . i know ive got alot of information myself from watching your videos , keep it up !!
Dammit man! You made some great calls (I say this because you literally read my mind a few times and I like to feel smart). AAC300BLK Has had me in a fascinating chokehold since I learned about it. The scenery in this vid is beautiful in a nearly surreal way. Like, this is the shooting vid Tim Burton would film. Mr. Roger’s neighborhood but with Pews. Calming voice, aesthetics, and dingers. I’m subbing right after hitting send.
I am more surprised by the rifle (not pistol) than I am impressed. I am, however, thoroughly impressed by your spectacular shooting. Thank you for this excellent video.
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! Just out here trying to create shooting content that's entertaining yet also provides some kind of value to the viewer. Hope you'll stay tuned for more.
Very impressed with the sub sonic performance. I am shooting 208 ELD and after 300 yards the consistency drops off. It is nice to see the capability of such a short barrel. After watching you, I need to be practicing more.
My first views of ANYTHING on your channel. I'm impressed with your shooting and the performance of the platform. My young newlywed daughter is looking to get a 300 BO; so I thought I'd look into them. Her husband is U.S. Army, and has 308 and 338 so...they're kinda tough on her. Thanks for the demo. Keep up the good work. I'll be back!
This was awesome! I have a 300 blk that I have primarily for home defense. I’m looking forward to getting a suppressor. Good to know that it is possible to make long shots and what the practical range is
You'll actually get more consistency out for the subs due to them never going through a transonic period. You just need enough elevation since they drop like logs. I know others have gotten subs out to 1k with consistency from bolt guns. They probably print better groups as well out of a bolt platform. Pretty awesome to see that Riton optic do so well and seems to be tracking correctly which is awesome. I have an atibal X 1-10 and the turrets have left something to be desired with the clicks. Haven't dialed any shots with it so don't know if it'll track. If not might have to make the swap over to a Riton after seeing this. 👍
Yes love it. I been telling my buddies they can use 125gr supers instead of using AK and they are very similar……. But most guys tell me 300blk is not nearly as fast as 7.62x39 when truth be told the 124-125gr supers have almost the exact same ballistics as standard AK rounds. This little demonstration just really proved that the supers are fairly consistent out to 500-600; just like AK rounds are. Now the subs, they are a whole dif ball game, designed for a whole dif purpose……buts its still pretty incredible what you could do with the subs.
That was very cool watching you lob in those subsonic rounds. I’ve never owned or shot a 300 black out. But I’m thinking about it now! Thank you for making this video
Pretty crazy how much elevation was required to get the subs out to distance and then I was also surprised at how long the time of flight was! I was hoping for a bit more consistency from the subs out at distance so now I’m planning a follow up video. I want to see if a different bullet or ammo from another manufacturer will provide better accuracy and more consistency out at distance. Hope you’ll stay tuned!
Who is this gent and why has it taken so kong for his videos to be recommended to me? Dude is ao chill. The kind of fella you want to bring shooting just because.
Just a normal guy that likes to shoot long range! Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the content. Help me out and tell your buddies about the channel! Tons of new content coming!
NOW THIS is the one I've been waiting for..... I saw the the Travis Hailey 'hail mary' 'call for artillery' long distance 300 BO video and wanted to see another example. Thx!
If I’m thinking of the video you’re referring to it’s rather old isn’t it? Anyway really impressive what 300BLK is capable of at distance. True supers totally exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for a little better performance out of the subs though. Going to revisit them specifically in future content where I try different bullets and ammo manufacturers to see if I can get better subsonic performance at distance. Stay tuned!
Ha no script here but for sure a little planning before I film each segment. Just out here trying to create entertaining content that provides the viewer with some kind of valuable takeaway in each video so I hope that’s the messaging that’s coming across to the viewer. Lots more content in the works so hope you’ll stay tuned!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Well you're achieving your goal sir I'll be watching all of your videos going forward, happy Easter and thank you for the response
Great content, I actually have be considering a 9" 300 build lately and it is good to see the performance is very suitable for reaching a little further than you would imagine. 700 yards with the super, provided you do your part, is incredible for that size barrel. Imagine its' capability for self defense at close range....
I was shocked at how well the supers performed at distance. Going into this I figured 500 yds is where consistency would start to fall off with both subs and supers however as shown in the video that wasn’t the case. I was hoping for a little better performance out of the subs though. Now I’m planning to revisit the subs specifically in a future video where I try different bullets and ammo manufacturers to see if I can find a more consistent combo. Stay tuned!
I've got a BCM 9" SBR and you should just buy one, you wont regret it. It's a super fun gun. I'm looking to use it in 2 gun and just using supers for the 200 yard stuff and subs for everything 100y and closer. For the suppressor I went with the 300SPS, it makes the overall package similar in size to a 16" AR but it's so quiet with subs the bolt cycling is way louder than what leaves the barrel.
One thing I discovered with subs is that factory ammunition has the bullet set at standard 5.56 length. This leaves a lot of room for the powder to shift around in the case and leads to inconsistent ignition and therefore inconsistent velocities. When shooting subs at longer ranges I was having large vertical impact shifts with factory ammo. I handloaded some 220 gr SMK 300 BLK and the big thing that I did was seat the bullet much further into the case to take up that “spare” case volume. I was able to take subsonic 220gr SMKs out to 700 very consistently, granted it was with a 16” Ruger Ranch. Seating the bullets deeper almost completely removed those vertical shifts.
At 600y one sub went like 10 mils lower than the rest, that's insane. Seems like QC might not have been where it could have with that ammunition. I'd love to see you do some more videos on this topic to see if other subsonic 300 blk ammo has more consistency and wonder like some of those rounds going way low might also have been a hot barrel not making as good of a gas seal and hurting your MV, and/or inconsistent loads. The scope seems a little out of its depth, that reticle was pretty busy for the work you were trying to do and at least through the scope cam the glass looked terrible, and ran out of internal adjustment. Super cool to see 300 blk stretched out to distance, can't say I've seen someone do that so rigorously before!
Great comments here. Regarding the subsonic ammo at distance I was for sure expecting more consistency. After filming the video I learned this barrel is 1 in 7” twist so that could be part of the problem. Aside from that, I am planning a part 2 video where I deep dive into subsonic performance specifically. I’m going to try different bullet weights and ammo manufacturers to see if I can come up with a more consistent/ better performing package. I’d really like to see the subs perform consistently out to at least 600 yds. Regarding the optic I really didn’t have any issues there and felt like it was a great match for what I was trying to do. The poor image quality is the result of my tactacam camera and not a reflection of glass quality in the scope. Unfortunately I didn’t realize until I got home that some of the through scope footage was a bit blurry. More to come here so hope you’ll stay tuned!

Great, thorough video. The videos highlighting short barrel effectiveness at range continue to surprise me. Thanks for putting in the work and as usual, you have a great range to work on!
Thank for taking the time to make this video, I thoroughly enjoyed your range test. My favorite cartridge, either rifle or even pistol, is 300 BLK. Personally I will never try to take 300 BLK past 200 yds, but I really appreciate you doing it. I really appreciate the scope camera and steel camera views. What did you use for the Scope View? Again, thank you for doing this video. It was extremely informative.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and support the channel! I use a tactacam 5.0 camera with film through scope (fts) adapter to capture video through the scope. It’s a little bit finicky to setup and annoying to shoot with but the video through the scope really enhances the viewing experience for TH-cam.
I just have built a PSA Lower and BCA 300-Blackout Upper here 16-inch Heavy barrel. I am currently getting it setup for hunting the way I like it. your channel as several others points out the value for the investment in these great firearms thank you for the content you make. With that being said, I have put together many PSA built lower receivers with BCA uppers, and they have been awesome! BCA is making great stuff and rifles that people are looking for in so many calibers, like he said the items are a great price! And they have great customer service they get it fixed and back in a week or less! I have people refer to Anderson AR-15s as "Poverty Ponys" and turn their noses up at PSA or Bear Creek so they can brag about what expensive things they have. Then later they can't outshoot the competition shooters at the range that are using standard ammo and standard firearms who are just having fun and socializing with other shooters I really enjoy seeing the Barney Fifes who have all the high-speed holster and gear and a stack of gun publications who talk a big game but when the old pros leave them in the dust! Milspec is, more than most people will ever need most people can't outperform their firearm. I have subscribed to your channel and want to learn about great subjects like this looking forward to more awesome content. Best Regards...
You never know. It could be that the rigidity of the short barrel is more important than a longer barrels velocity that may whip about causing inaccuracy. I'd be curious though because I have a 10.5" and a 16" upper in 300 bo.
Didn't expect to see much when I clicked on the video, but that was satisfying and well worth the time. Just seeing footage in the scope and the target is very helpful to understand how you think, how rifle behaves itself and it let's us see how good you are My favourite part has to be you manually correcting yourself rather than changing zero on the scope after each shot
Your videos are always so wonderful to watch. Clear concise information and it's always info we actually want to learn about. Absolutely love your channel my man.
I am always impressed with your shooting. Your ability to spot your shots, correct, and make wind calls is that of a very seasoned shooter. Great job as always. Do you have an email I could reach out to you at to see if you are interested in borrowing item(s) to test?
Yes. They have good BCs low drag compared to a lot of bullets. They slow down at a low rate. The fact they are already going slow means the force on the bullet isn't as great either. They hold their speed well and will be lethal farther than you can see or shoot.
I could watch this all day. Love seeing the process of you zeroing the scope and pushing the bullets out further. I'm impressed with the performance with the subs
Nice pokes!! Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great content! Putting together a 9” BO upper. BCM4 upper blem 9” Faxon 1:7 Bravo 7” QRF with Riflespeed gas block. BCM BCG Learned a lot from tuning in. Thanks for the show!
Many people do not understand the capability of the blackout. I have one in a TC contender that I routinely make hits to 600 yards with. It is a FANTASTIC round for learning LR shooting on a budget. I was an early adopter of the blackout and own more than I care to say. I was shocked when I was able to hit 600 yard reliability with sub rounds. There is no transonic re-entry and they stay stable. With the right wind and accurate barrel/scope combination, It should impact as far as you would want with a sub round. The bullet stays true its entire flight path. Good video. Earned a sub with this one.
Awesome video and awesome shooting Sir….. Im also a fan of 300 just because I can load for it cheapest …. Im subbed and can’t wait on content from you! Thank you
Thank you! My goal is to certainly create entertaining content, but also content that provides the viewer some kind of value in each video. Hope that’s what you’re finding!
I'm pretty stoked to see what else is possible with short 300blk rifles. Took mine out for the first time out to 400yds with an Eotech/G33 combo and surprised myself
MAN!!!! I want it for home but you show that you can take it outside with no problem, wow nice shooting, this is my confirmation to buy an 8-inch barrel and then suppress it, perfect home defense
I just bought a Radian Mod 1 9" 300BAC, and I really needed this video! You make it look easy, and I feel better about the type of effective range, and the versatility of the round.
Nice shooting with a fun round! I love shooting 300 BLK suppressed with subs and supersonics. Great round to handload with, a lot of bullet options. Thumbs high!
You have proved Google wrong. They say 300blk is on good to 500 yrds. You have also made me extremely excited to shoot my recently finished 10.5" 300blk. Subbing
Having the energy to hit something vs kill something are two different things. The maximum effective range of a particular weapon system (weapon/ammo/optic/shooter) is about repeatable lethality with the average marksmanship. I wouldn't want to be kit with any bullet from any distance, but if I had to choose, shoot at me with 300B subs at 500m vs 300B supers at 500m.

I truly appreciate the weaponized autism in pushing balistics beyond what is the "norm".
Along with the multiple camera angles, plus how thorough the testing is.
Great job!
In regards to the subsonic rounds consistency is king when you start to get far. The SD I saw was 5 percent of your velocity, if you hand load you can get down to about 10 ft SD and bump up the speed to 1050 at the muzzle. Considering the round is probably loaded for a 16 inch barrel it may be a tiny bit short on powder. I highly recommend using CFE BLK for your subs as once it gets a full case for the long bullet you will see the SD drop like a rock, it is wonderful! The consistency you saw in hits with the subsonic at range was an SD spread of only .5 percent of your total velocity. Great shooting bro and great topics/content and cinematography.
Great comment. I agree that the SD is the culprit. Also right on with the hand loading comment.
For subsonics you want to stay at around 925FPS. This is because while generally under 1000 will still be under the speed of sound, the sound of the bullet exponentially goes up as it nears the sound barrier. The original documents on 300 Whisper has more details about the science behind that.
I love the 300 blk. I have a 16" proof research heavy barrel and I've been able to make hits at 700 yds with supersonics. Using handloads of course.
Love the video. Really appreciate how you shot this. I have watched hours of 300 blk and this was by far the most informative video I have seen. Max value for the time spent here. Thank you.
Really awesome to hear you found value in watching my content! I've got a ton of new videos coming so hope you'll stay tuned to check it out!
Make a video where the goal is first shot hit, with no Wind flag at target
The name of your channel suggests you've got a real sense of humor. I LOVE the fact that you don't, like so many other 'tactical' TH-camrs, try to be funny on screen. You're clear, direct, thorough and eminently enjoyable. Keep up the great videos, the way you're doing them now, and I'll keep watching/sharing.
I certainly have a sense of humor but my goal with each video is to provide an entertaining watch that also provides the viewer with some level of valuable takeaway. What you've seen so far from me is what you get, no plans to change so hope you'll stay tuned!
Was not expecting that kind of performance with 300 BO. great content as always!
Same here…. The supers performed way better than I expected. I was actually hoping for a little better performance out of the subs so now I’m planning a part 2 video where I revisit the subsonic performance specifically. I want to see if a different bullet or ammo manufacturer will provide more consistent results from a subsonic bullet at distance. Stay tuned!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Looking forward to it!
16” barrel does even better up close n at distance it’s incredible if ya know ya know
really enjoyed watching! I have a 300 10.5 supressed and load subs, but had no idea you could stretch it out that far!
9in barrel reaches 480m so 10.5 can lol
My mind was blown too.
@@spoton5981 A good reason to not take what you read on forums with a hand grain full of salt. You have to get out there and shoot your weapon. Most not all... but most people never even shoot the caliber they are commenting on. However, they are quick to tell you how something will not work. That is mind blowing!
I just ordered a 16 in 300 Blackout upper 2 days ago. Your great shooting video is very inspiring. The range I go to has a nice steel target at 700 yards. I can't wait to do my own exploring with this rifle. Thanks for a great video. I look forward to your next one.
How did your 16’ 300 blackout turn out at the range?
Just ordered my first long range gun. I've learned over the years that us shooters often skip over things we know when training others, and use terms others don't understand, making it more complicated than needed. watching you has given me a lot of great info and super simple and easy to follow. Now i know how and where to get started. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
The audio from the subs at 300 yards was spine tingling
Such awesome content. Thanks for the work you put into these episodes.
I'm planning an 8.6 BLK build on a bolt gun, and the 300 BLK has always been a strong performer.
Thank you! Appreciate the support! My buddy just got hit 8.6BLK bolt gun put together and we put a handful of rounds through it the other day. Crazy cool caliber…. Hits steel impressively hard at 100yds haha.
The environment looks surreal... Windows XP background 🤩
Keeping the important and excellent content coming. I don't run 300blk, but this is excellent info.
Once again appreciate the continued support! Tell you what, after running this 300BLK upper for this video I'm really impressed by 300BLK. Way more capable at distance that I expected. Hoping to spend this weekend filming fresh content so stay tuned for more!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica I'm genuinely impressed as well. It seems like the subs are inconsistently loaded, but that's also good information to know if you say....had a 300blk with subs and had to make it work. Excellent shooting as always.
@@navyman8903 100% I’m going to revisit the subs in a future video. I want to see if swapping to a different bullet/ ammo manufacturer makes any difference. Also wondering if the slower 1 in 7” twist of this barrel just isn’t the right match for the heavy bullets? More to come there.
love your channel , a humble man . its funny you asking viewers for advice when you just educated probably most watching your video . i know ive got alot of information myself from watching your videos , keep it up !!
Good shooting. An educational and enjoyable video. I enjoyed the concise intro without all the bs drama we see in other intros.
Dammit man! You made some great calls (I say this because you literally read my mind a few times and I like to feel smart). AAC300BLK Has had me in a fascinating chokehold since I learned about it. The scenery in this vid is beautiful in a nearly surreal way. Like, this is the shooting vid Tim Burton would film. Mr. Roger’s neighborhood but with Pews. Calming voice, aesthetics, and dingers. I’m subbing right after hitting send.
I am more surprised by the rifle (not pistol) than I am impressed. I am, however, thoroughly impressed by your spectacular shooting. Thank you for this excellent video.
World class, and really nice format with shooter cam, scope cam, and target cam all at once. Great stuff.
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! Just out here trying to create shooting content that's entertaining yet also provides some kind of value to the viewer. Hope you'll stay tuned for more.
Best part was after 500 yards I thought he was done... then I hear "Let's push back farther". Impressive!!!
Haha love it! I’m all about pushing the boundaries!
Very impressed with the sub sonic performance. I am shooting 208 ELD and after 300 yards the consistency drops off. It is nice to see the capability of such a short barrel. After watching you, I need to be practicing more.
Well wait a sec... the sub sonic did not do very well at 300 yards. the drop of is significant.
My first views of ANYTHING on your channel. I'm impressed with your shooting and the performance of the platform. My young newlywed daughter is looking to get a 300 BO; so I thought I'd look into them. Her husband is U.S. Army, and has 308 and 338 so...they're kinda tough on her.
Thanks for the demo. Keep up the good work. I'll be back!
Very impressive considering the length of the barrel and weight of the bullet. Well done!
This was awesome! I have a 300 blk that I have primarily for home defense. I’m looking forward to getting a suppressor. Good to know that it is possible to make long shots and what the practical range is
You'll actually get more consistency out for the subs due to them never going through a transonic period. You just need enough elevation since they drop like logs. I know others have gotten subs out to 1k with consistency from bolt guns. They probably print better groups as well out of a bolt platform. Pretty awesome to see that Riton optic do so well and seems to be tracking correctly which is awesome. I have an atibal X 1-10 and the turrets have left something to be desired with the clicks. Haven't dialed any shots with it so don't know if it'll track. If not might have to make the swap over to a Riton after seeing this. 👍
Yes love it. I been telling my buddies they can use 125gr supers instead of using AK and they are very similar……. But most guys tell me 300blk is not nearly as fast as 7.62x39 when truth be told the 124-125gr supers have almost the exact same ballistics as standard AK rounds. This little demonstration just really proved that the supers are fairly consistent out to 500-600; just like AK rounds are. Now the subs, they are a whole dif ball game, designed for a whole dif purpose……buts its still pretty incredible what you could do with the subs.
That was very cool watching you lob in those subsonic rounds. I’ve never owned or shot a 300 black out. But I’m thinking about it now! Thank you for making this video
Pretty crazy how much elevation was required to get the subs out to distance and then I was also surprised at how long the time of flight was! I was hoping for a bit more consistency from the subs out at distance so now I’m planning a follow up video. I want to see if a different bullet or ammo from another manufacturer will provide better accuracy and more consistency out at distance. Hope you’ll stay tuned!
Who is this gent and why has it taken so kong for his videos to be recommended to me? Dude is ao chill. The kind of fella you want to bring shooting just because.
Just a normal guy that likes to shoot long range! Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the content. Help me out and tell your buddies about the channel! Tons of new content coming!
Great video! Camera angles and explanations of ballistics are top tier
NOW THIS is the one I've been waiting for..... I saw the the Travis Hailey 'hail mary' 'call for artillery' long distance 300 BO video and wanted to see another example. Thx!
If I’m thinking of the video you’re referring to it’s rather old isn’t it? Anyway really impressive what 300BLK is capable of at distance. True supers totally exceeded my expectations. I was hoping for a little better performance out of the subs though. Going to revisit them specifically in future content where I try different bullets and ammo manufacturers to see if I can get better subsonic performance at distance. Stay tuned!
Great video and good shooting. You picked decent factory rounds. Your hit rates at 600/700 were acceptable to me.
Absolutely the coolest 300 BLK video on TH-cam. Pretty amazing what you can still achieve with a 2.5” group
Great video! really cool to see that setup reach way out there. Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I feel like this guys working off a script it's so fluid and professional, love this in a gun channel, you got my subscription
Ha no script here but for sure a little planning before I film each segment. Just out here trying to create entertaining content that provides the viewer with some kind of valuable takeaway in each video so I hope that’s the messaging that’s coming across to the viewer. Lots more content in the works so hope you’ll stay tuned!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Well you're achieving your goal sir I'll be watching all of your videos going forward, happy Easter and thank you for the response
Great content, I actually have be considering a 9" 300 build lately and it is good to see the performance is very suitable for reaching a little further than you would imagine. 700 yards with the super, provided you do your part, is incredible for that size barrel. Imagine its' capability for self defense at close range....
I was shocked at how well the supers performed at distance. Going into this I figured 500 yds is where consistency would start to fall off with both subs and supers however as shown in the video that wasn’t the case. I was hoping for a little better performance out of the subs though. Now I’m planning to revisit the subs specifically in a future video where I try different bullets and ammo manufacturers to see if I can find a more consistent combo. Stay tuned!
I've got a BCM 9" SBR and you should just buy one, you wont regret it. It's a super fun gun. I'm looking to use it in 2 gun and just using supers for the 200 yard stuff and subs for everything 100y and closer. For the suppressor I went with the 300SPS, it makes the overall package similar in size to a 16" AR but it's so quiet with subs the bolt cycling is way louder than what leaves the barrel.
One thing I discovered with subs is that factory ammunition has the bullet set at standard 5.56 length. This leaves a lot of room for the powder to shift around in the case and leads to inconsistent ignition and therefore inconsistent velocities. When shooting subs at longer ranges I was having large vertical impact shifts with factory ammo. I handloaded some 220 gr SMK 300 BLK and the big thing that I did was seat the bullet much further into the case to take up that “spare” case volume. I was able to take subsonic 220gr SMKs out to 700 very consistently, granted it was with a 16” Ruger Ranch. Seating the bullets deeper almost completely removed those vertical shifts.
At 600y one sub went like 10 mils lower than the rest, that's insane. Seems like QC might not have been where it could have with that ammunition. I'd love to see you do some more videos on this topic to see if other subsonic 300 blk ammo has more consistency and wonder like some of those rounds going way low might also have been a hot barrel not making as good of a gas seal and hurting your MV, and/or inconsistent loads. The scope seems a little out of its depth, that reticle was pretty busy for the work you were trying to do and at least through the scope cam the glass looked terrible, and ran out of internal adjustment. Super cool to see 300 blk stretched out to distance, can't say I've seen someone do that so rigorously before!
Great comments here. Regarding the subsonic ammo at distance I was for sure expecting more consistency. After filming the video I learned this barrel is 1 in 7” twist so that could be part of the problem. Aside from that, I am planning a part 2 video where I deep dive into subsonic performance specifically. I’m going to try different bullet weights and ammo manufacturers to see if I can come up with a more consistent/ better performing package. I’d really like to see the subs perform consistently out to at least 600 yds.
Regarding the optic I really didn’t have any issues there and felt like it was a great match for what I was trying to do. The poor image quality is the result of my tactacam camera and not a reflection of glass quality in the scope. Unfortunately I didn’t realize until I got home that some of the through scope footage was a bit blurry.
More to come here so hope you’ll stay tuned!
Twist too fast?
@@markgarner9832 twist two slow for the heavy rounds mine is one in 5 and gives .8 in groups at 100 yr. its a noveski 10.3
He is an amazing shooter to hold as stable and steady as he is at that distance.

The moon towards the beginning was crazy!
It was super cool to see In person. Thanks for watching!
I’m Retired Chief Warrant Officer 4. A Ranger Sniper Before 18 Delta Force. I Tune Into You The Most & I’ll Just Say Much Of The Time Its Operator Era & Not Weapon Especially When Compensating For Wind Where I See Most Mistakes. Regardless A 22 Cal. Will Reach Out A Touch Somebody And Thats What Is Most Important. My Sniping Was Best Done With The .300 Win Mag. .338 Lap & Modified 50 Cal. Even The 5.56 With A 77 Grain Pill To Mill Was More Than Adequate To 1000 For Real Estate All Day Long. Can’t Say That For The .300 Blackout Although More Than Capable In The Right Operators Hands. However My Choice Of Battle Rifle In Private Sector Is 6 mm ARC. Up Close To Mid-Range & Further Out To 1300 & Some Change Is The Perfect Rifle For A Hit & Thats All It Takes. Most People Cannot Hit 6 Or 9 Inch Plates & Thats Why I Enjoy Your Full Size Upper Torso Targets. Its More Realistic & Puts Shooting More In Perspective As The Average Mans Shoulder Is 16 Inches Across. I Really Enjoy Your Content & How You Deliver It To The Average As Well As Advanced Shooters.

really interesting...never would have guessed...and congrats on YOUR performance as a shooter. Greetings from Italy
Great, thorough video. The videos highlighting short barrel effectiveness at range continue to surprise me. Thanks for putting in the work and as usual, you have a great range to work on!
Me and my son are both worked with these particular platforms. I can say this, I think everyone should have one of these❤
Thank for taking the time to make this video, I thoroughly enjoyed your range test. My favorite cartridge, either rifle or even pistol, is 300 BLK. Personally I will never try to take 300 BLK past 200 yds, but I really appreciate you doing it. I really appreciate the scope camera and steel camera views. What did you use for the Scope View? Again, thank you for doing this video. It was extremely informative.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and support the channel! I use a tactacam 5.0 camera with film through scope (fts) adapter to capture video through the scope. It’s a little bit finicky to setup and annoying to shoot with but the video through the scope really enhances the viewing experience for TH-cam.
I just have built a PSA Lower and BCA 300-Blackout Upper here 16-inch Heavy barrel. I am currently getting it setup for hunting the way I like it. your channel as several others points out the value for the investment in these great firearms thank you for the content you make. With that being said, I have put together many PSA built lower receivers with BCA uppers, and they have been awesome! BCA is making great stuff and rifles that people are looking for in so many calibers, like he said the items are a great price! And they have great customer service they get it fixed and back in a week or less! I have people refer to Anderson AR-15s as "Poverty Ponys" and turn their noses up at PSA or Bear Creek so they can brag about what expensive things they have. Then later they can't outshoot the competition shooters at the range that are using standard ammo and standard firearms who are just having fun and socializing with other shooters I really enjoy seeing the Barney Fifes who have all the high-speed holster and gear and a stack of gun publications who talk a big game but when the old pros leave them in the dust! Milspec is, more than most people will ever need most people can't outperform their firearm. I have subscribed to your channel and want to learn about great subjects like this looking forward to more awesome content. Best Regards...
This is why I love your channel - great content and excellent shooting!!!!! Very interested to see what a full size barrel would do?
You never know. It could be that the rigidity of the short barrel is more important than a longer barrels velocity that may whip about causing inaccuracy. I'd be curious though because I have a 10.5" and a 16" upper in 300 bo.
Didn't expect to see much when I clicked on the video, but that was satisfying and well worth the time.
Just seeing footage in the scope and the target is very helpful to understand how you think, how rifle behaves itself and it let's us see how good you are
My favourite part has to be you manually correcting yourself rather than changing zero on the scope after each shot
Your videos are always so wonderful to watch. Clear concise information and it's always info we actually want to learn about. Absolutely love your channel my man.
Thank you! Really appreciate the continued support! Really just hoping to put out content that viewers find valuable so glad you’re enjoying it.
Thank you for answering all my questions. Nice video man.
Glad you found value in the video! Thanks for watching!
I am always impressed with your shooting. Your ability to spot your shots, correct, and make wind calls is that of a very seasoned shooter. Great job as always. Do you have an email I could reach out to you at to see if you are interested in borrowing item(s) to test?
great video. thanks for investing the time to provide this.
I wonder how much energy the round has at the 6-700 out of that barrel. Impressive shooting and judging wind.
Very Impressive. Great example of how to shoot long range!
It would be very cool to see what distance you could squeeze out of various sub sonic calibers and how much barrel length affects it
I have a similar rifle that I haven't tested yet. You have given me some insight for testing. Great video!!!
Question 🙋♂️. Will the 300 rounds still have any velocity at these ranges? Awesome shooting btw.
Yes. They have good BCs low drag compared to a lot of bullets. They slow down at a low rate. The fact they are already going slow means the force on the bullet isn't as great either. They hold their speed well and will be lethal farther than you can see or shoot.
I am absolutely PUMPED for this channel! And only thing I would change is I wish I found it sooner.
Awesome! Really appreciate the support! The good news is you’re here now and I’ve got a ton of fresh content in the works so hope you’ll stay tuned.
I could watch this all day. Love seeing the process of you zeroing the scope and pushing the bullets out further.
I'm impressed with the performance with the subs
Nice pokes!! Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great content! Putting together a 9” BO upper. BCM4 upper blem 9” Faxon 1:7 Bravo 7” QRF with Riflespeed gas block. BCM BCG
Learned a lot from tuning in. Thanks for the show!
Many people do not understand the capability of the blackout. I have one in a TC contender that I routinely make hits to 600 yards with. It is a FANTASTIC round for learning LR shooting on a budget. I was an early adopter of the blackout and own more than I care to say. I was shocked when I was able to hit 600 yard reliability with sub rounds. There is no transonic re-entry and they stay stable. With the right wind and accurate barrel/scope combination, It should impact as far as you would want with a sub round. The bullet stays true its entire flight path. Good video. Earned a sub with this one.
Great vid! I need to get out and test my 8" SBR with different ammo. Keep it up!
I have been wondering this for so long! Thanks for actually figuring it out!!
The best MOA long range shots with scope markings adjustments I have ever seen. Perfect djustments with a zero at 100yards Great job. Learned a lot.
Fantastic work as always
Thank you!
The 300 blkout is not just a truck Coyote gun after this video. Amazing!
Super video - love the 3 camera views at the same time - good job, and shooting
Mr. your naration is another level. keep ‘em barrels whistlin’.

wow man, that was a tiny group at 600 yards! Awesome content as always.
Fantastic marksmanship
This was a great example of 300 blackout...wish I had those conditions when I shoot ..rare in SE U SA
Best plenking channel. No BS just facts and trigger pulls. Love it
I'm pretty stoked to see what else is possible with short 300blk rifles. Took mine out for the first time out to 400yds with an Eotech/G33 combo and surprised myself
I seriously love this channel
Awesome! Really appreciate the support! Lots of fresh content in the works so hope you’ll stay tuned.
MAN!!!! I want it for home but you show that you can take it outside with no problem, wow nice shooting, this is my confirmation to buy an 8-inch barrel and then suppress it, perfect home defense
You had my attention with the rifle, but seeing the mullet, you now have my respect.
Haha I love it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel!
This is becoming my favorite channel to watch. Definitely top 10 channels on youtube.
Glad to hear it and I really appreciate the support! My plan is to keep on pumping out solid firearm content so hope you’ll stay tuned.
I just bought a Radian Mod 1 9" 300BAC, and I really needed this video! You make it look easy, and I feel better about the type of effective range, and the versatility of the round.
That was therapeutic. You're impressive man. I need to learn from you
Nice shooting with a fun round! I love shooting 300 BLK suppressed with subs and supersonics. Great round to handload with, a lot of bullet options. Thumbs high!
You have proved Google wrong. They say 300blk is on good to 500 yrds. You have also made me extremely excited to shoot my recently finished 10.5" 300blk. Subbing
Having the energy to hit something vs kill something are two different things.
The maximum effective range of a particular weapon system (weapon/ammo/optic/shooter) is about repeatable lethality with the average marksmanship.
I wouldn't want to be kit with any bullet from any distance, but if I had to choose, shoot at me with 300B subs at 500m vs 300B supers at 500m.
that was an absolute amazing run the lpvo seem to play a big factor in make those long range hits
